Windows 11 File Explorer Crashing *FIXED* (6 Solutions)

Thanks!

This is ridiculous. Something as basic as opening files should not have to come with hardships such as this. File Explorer should be running as smooth as other file browsers in other operating systems. Having to delete cache and browsing history basically negates the entire function of the quick access altogether so what is the point? Just to have momentary stability in a file explorer that will crash later again after the cache builds up? All this leads to an undesirable and unintuitive end use experience.

Thanks a million, it worked for me just completing the first two steps. I had earlier completed the Powershell step after searching online but this alone did not work. This was on my work computer and I was offered no other assistance so I am incredibly grateful to you for fixing a painfully frustrating problem 👍🏻

Awesome, watched a bunch of other videos, this one fixed it in the first 2 steps. Thanks!!

Sir I have done all the steps but file explorer is still flickering

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have followed all the steps, because after following other YouTube videos I was simply desperate. It's Saturday and if I couldn't fix it myself I would have needed to wait until Monday to bring my laptop to the store, but I would not have been able to finish a job for Monday! You rock! Not only was this video clear and compact, but you also made many people save A LOT of money (probably around 35-50 Euros in Austria, where I am now). I wish you the very best with your channel, I will definitely come back next time something comes up.

Repair-WindowsImage -Online –RestoreHealth (not recognized ) error, not working why ?

This seems useful way, will have a try later thank you.

Thank you. It worked. The first 2 or 3 steps I had already tried. So it was one of the last solutions. Now sure which but I can now open a zipped file without crashiing.

Thank you! This is very helpful!

Awsome! You were incredibly helpful!
